Psalm 103:20-22


Bless the Lord, O you his angels,
    you mighty ones who do his bidding,
    obedient to his spoken word.
 Bless the Lord, all his hosts,
    his ministers that do his will.
Bless the Lord, all his works,
    in all places of his dominion.
Bless the Lord, O my soul.

Bless the Lord, O my soul.

Bless Him, O you angels,
o you birds of the sky,
you white-winged seraphim,
trumpeting the rising sun.

Bless the Lord, O my soul.

Bless Him, O you hosts,
you who love the earth,
you who, not only sow
the seeds, but tend to them,

tend to the fragile plants,
to the pale green shoots
that emerge from the darkened
soil, stretching to the light.

Bless you, who love the earth,
who sit by its waters,
who close your eyes to the sun,
who whisper to the wind
who you know knows your name.

Bless you and bless the Lord.

Bless Him, all His works,
all you raging waters,
al you storm-tossed waves,
all you still lakes and backwoods creeks.

Bless Him, all you winds,
sweeping across the fields,
darting between the trees,
playing your music among the leaves.

Bless Him, all you mountains,
rising, towering above the earth,
for you alone have seen His face
and kissed His cheek goodnight.

Bless Him, all you stars,
the firstborn of all creation,
the first light and the first dawn,
the seed that formed us all.

Bless Him, all you living things,
all you who draw breath,
all you whose heart still beats.
Bless the Lord, O my soul.

Amen.

Surgery

I have to say that given all my health problems, I have been so blessed to have never needed surgery up until this point in my life.  Though...
